    IBM has never stopped selling mainframes. One of the big reasons why finance transactions are still COBOL is IBM consultants insisting that a centralized mainframe is better than a private cloud.

    It’s a niche market, but if someone wants total control, then you get a mainframe even if it costs more and is an inferior service to the cloud providers.
